In this role, he prosecuted important misdemeanor and felony crime charges, including several high-profile cases. After working in the Office of the State Attorney, Wesley began his civil work representing insurance companies in their defense against claims from policyholders. This role included significant important litigation experience.

Ryan S.

After law school, Ryan spent the next 12 years between a local St. Petersburg law firm and a prominent national law firm litigating complex insurance disputes.

Adam Lewis has extensive experience in handling first-party insurance claim litigation, both as defense counsel for insurance companies, as well as on behalf of homeowners and other aggrieved parties.

Your Team

Prior to starting Dicus Burke & Lewis, PLLC, Ryan worked at a large firm representing insurance companies in insurance disputes and Wesley worked as a prosecutor for the Office of the State Attorney. As a result, we understand how the other side works, and we bring that knowledge and experience to the benefit of our clients.

We’ve represented the government and the big insurance corporations. We know what goes on behind the scenes. This is the reason we decided to start Dicus Burke & Lewis, PLLC, in 2017: To represent people. To represent YOU.
